Yup, normal. Gas X helps and walking, even if it is up and down the hallway in your house. Walk several times a day.

My largest incision hurt for quite a while. Were you given pain meds? I was given liquid Tylenol w/codeine.

Were you given anything for the nausea? If not, call your surgeon. Maybe he can call something in to your pharmacy. No need to feel bad if something can help you.

This too shall pass, feel better!

I was sleeved on Thursday and still have a little gas pain in my shoulder. I've been using Gas-X Strips, which also help with the gas-related nausea. If the doctor gave you Zofran or any other anti-nausea that should be helpful too. I never thought farting would be so important! :-)

It gets better every day. I had awful gas pains in my shoulders. By one week post op they were almost null. Warm tea and warm Soup and walking around a bit seemed to really help. U have to release it as gross as that may seem. Good luck. Speedy recovery.

Thanks you guys are making me feel better. I do have oxycodone for paim and a pill for nausea. Some of the gas is starting to come out the other end which i think is a good sign.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
